Attack of the Theocrats!

The question is about ultimate origins because, I guess, people are after ultimate answers! We want to solve the mystery of the crime of creation, like a detective. What would a satisfying answer be like?
My view is that we can't get an ultimate answer, because there isn't one, because there can't be one. That's my philosophical position.
However, we should always look for ever-simpler answers where we can.
